    About Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company

    Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company is an award-winning chocolatier founded in St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to the opening in 1981, our founding chocolatier spent years training with the finest candy makers across the country. His apprenticeship taught him the secrets of handcrafting premium chocolates in small batches. Some of the recipes used today were passed down from candy maker to candy maker dating back to 1904. Our All Natural chocolates are made with the purest and finest ingredients - including Fair Trade Certified Cocoa and Cane Sugar!
     
    Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company was founded in 1981 in St. Louis, Missouri. Our vision was simple, use the finest ingredients such as pure chocolate, fresh salted nuts, creamy hand made caramel, and centers prepared in small batches at a time. We then began many year round traditions such as the fresh chocolate covered strawberries by hand dipping them every morning. Our distinct recipe of our rich, creamy milk and dark chocolate has separated us from the rest of the industry. We strive to bring you the highest grade of chocolates which is why our chocolate is "made with real cocoa beans." In late 2002, Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company envisioned expansion by adding more stores. In order to do so, we franchised our candy store concept while maintaining superb quality. Today we continue to open more candy stores with great success.
